Best and worst part of your job

I have to agree. There are wonderful parents out there, but it only takes one or two, who feel they are 'entitled' and pushy, to ruin the day. I never think of myself as 'just a caregiver' and get very disturbed when a parent does! If we are taking care of children that they love, you would think they would appreciate the skill, patience and love that that job entails...especially since some of them are unwilling or unable to do it themselves...nor would they tolerate being treated badly by their own superiors! Thank goodness for the good ones!!!

Yes there are definitely some great daycare families out there! They are the ones that keep me going some days.

Best part: 1) I get to take my kids to school /to the school bus in the morning and p.m. and still make money in between 2) When the daycare kids do funny stuff or laugh

Worst Part: 1) Advertising/interviews 2) The mess and seeing your house get torn apart/damaged or books or toys broken 3) working all day with the daycare and then at night still have to do housework and prep for the next day. It makes for very long and exhausting days

Totally with Spixie on that one

Best Part: Not having to work for someone else(though some might say you are technically working for the parents but I always see it as I do this for me and my family, its my personal business, the parents choose to be a part of it/ bring their child into it)

Worst Part: Reversing the teachings of bad learnt behaviors
